Automatically Changing Text Daily Code

I work at a college radio station and our brand new website just went live, but we're having one particular issue...

We have a set list of shows that air each day, and on the site we have a marquee tag on the homepage that scrolls through showing each show and its broadcast time. Right now we're stuck changing this schedule each day by hand, but it's tough considering we're all college students ourselves and sometimes our own schedules simply don't allow the time.

Is there a code that would allow this kind of a daily update to happen automatically?

Haha, no - sorry. I'm an art student, not a programmer, so I really am only relatively well versed in basics.

I'm not sure if you understand what I'm trying to do, though - I don't think I explained myself very well. I have a small block of text that's the schedule for our station, but the schedule changes each day since we have different shows running each day, so I'm trying to have that schedule automatically change itself each day rather than having to do it by hand.

Changing Daily Quote in Email Signature

I am very new and have no idea about where to begin, other than to say that I want to be able to have a daily quote in the last line of my signature to my gmail account. I would appreciate any information regarding the feasibility of having the quote automatically change to a new one each day.

I don't believe the gmail account is controlled by javascript, but I've really never looked into this.

One suggestion would be to have a simple script that writes to a text box that could then
be copied and pasted into the last section of your email when you wish to post it.
That small program could be created from the earlier posts of this thread.

Thank you, very much, for your prompt response. I shall give it a try.

thank you

thank you jmrker for your code for auto switching the text!! .. It saved me. I'm just wondering if there's a way to modify it so that it switches a few hours after 12 am? If you could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you again.

You're most welcome. Happy to help.

But ... Switches to what? Also, how many is a few hours? 2, 3, 6 or more?
Need more specific requirements.

Well I set up a few tables on a daily schedule like the example you gave, so that a new table appears every day. The tables actually consist of drink specials and since most pubs and bars run well into the morning of the next day, I would like to have the specials switch at 6 am, rather than 12 am. (6 hours)
